“Gunpowder, witchcraft, and doom? What more could you ask for?!” – Patton Oswalt (Minor Threats, MODOK) on Midnight Western Theatre.

In a deadly wild west, tall tales and nervous whispers run rampant of Ortensia Thomas AKA the Woman in Black! A mysterious gunslinger on an impossible mission against the forces of evil. With otherworldly—or all too human—threats finding themselves at odds with this antihero for the ages, this is a bloody story of a serious woman with a serious job to do. Thankfully, she doesn’t work alone…

Meet—or revisit!—the colorful cast of Alexander Wortham the Reluctant Vampire, Sarah Bishop the Wild West Witch, Governor Jamie Corson, Plague Doctor, Samual the Prophet, the Lone Spirit, Ata’halne, Red Tom, the Fireman, and the widely beloved Horse.

Originally published by Scout Comics and Entertainment from 2021-2023, Midnight Western Theatre is resurrected once more with this ambitious compendium Kickstarter. With over 300+ pages of comics content, this epic tome seeks to collect Midnight Western Theatre Vol. 1 (Issues 1-5), Midnight Western Theatre Vol. 2: Witch Trial (Issues 1-5), variant cover art, original series concept art, Ortensia cosplay photoshoot, behind-the-scenes making of, exclusive TV show adaptation material, and a whole lot more rooting-tooting cowboy shooting!

Saddle up your horse and get ready for the weird west comic of your dreams by writer Louis Southard (Flash Gordon, X-O Manowar), artist David Hahn (Batman ‘66, Impossible Jones), artist Butch K. Mapa (Speed Racer, Archie Horror), colorist Ryan Cody (Justice League vs. Legion of Super-Heroes), colorist Sean Peacock (Love Honey, Godzilla Monsterpiece Theatre), letterer Buddy Beaudoin (Green Arrow, Flash), and cover artist Julianne Griepp (Laugh Riot, Comics Are Dying: The Comic).

This book is 100% done, we only need YOUR help to print and ship! If you like Jonah Hex, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, Westworld, romantasy fiction, and a lot of other cool stuff, then this is the book you’ve been waiting for!

Sign up today for the comic of your dreams, all updates, and info for exclusive campaign materials!
